Liz&#8217;s performance is enchanting and engages children to the very end. As a puppeteer Liz knows how to include her audience while effortlessly working her craft. The quality of her set-up and puppets, in which the influence of classic Henson artistry may be seen, is top-notch. Children joyfully participate throughout the show and are even delighted after the show when Liz buzzes through the audience to meet them. Developmentally and educationally appropriate for a wide age range, the entire family will enjoy the show!<br \/>\n<i>\u2014Danielle Carey, Head of Children&#8217;s Services, Hampton Bays Public Librar<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-video fusion-vimeo\" style=\"--awb-max-width:600px;--awb-max-height:360px;--awb-align-self:center;--awb-width:100%;\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top:60%;\" ><iframe title=\"Vimeo video player 1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/310116708?autoplay=0&autopause=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"360\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><h4 dir=\"ltr\">About the Company<\/h4>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A Couple of Puppets is a one-woman touring puppet company created in 1990 by Liz Joyce.
